TheMeaningOfDope

Busta Rhymes’ tailor must have been paid well from about 1991-2002, since it sure looks like the work of the same guy who did these matching jumpsuits that the dungeon dragon and co. are wearing in this clip.

Can you imagine going to check your tailor to get fitted with 3 of your close friends for matching outfits with a contrasting colour stripe?  Like, can I please wear the ultimate urban kimono?  Oh, and can you make sure all my boys are wearing it when we perform on tv?  It’s crazy how different rap fashion is from this period until now, but the clothing is just a sidenote in this particular video.

I have seen countless Party Machine episodes and never have I seen an artist or group NOT lip-sync their performance.

I wonder if Busta Bus, Charlie Brown and Dinco refused since they prided themselves on having one of the most electric and dialed-in stage shows in rap at the time?  I wouldn’t be surprised, but either way it’s a treat to have actual vocals and backups on this show since their lip-syncing can almost ruin some other great perfomances that they had on there during the short period that this show was on the air.

I just ripped my Future Without A Past CD, so when I get my act together later I will update this post with a zip file for download.
